After a disappointing home stand that saw the Rockies strike out 60 times in six games — including 13 times in the finale against a pitcher who was making his major-league debut — there’s no doubt about it: the free-swinging Rockies have a major problem.

The Rockies are set to hit the road, facing NL West rivals San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles in three of baseball’s best pitchers’ parks. Is that a recipe for disaster? Check out the latest “Blake Street Irregulars”!
